You Were My Friend
You came in my home and took from me all that I had to give
I thought that we would be good friends for as long as we should live
I had some past experience with people just like you
But I never thought you were that kind, so what was I to do?
You were my friend, you were my friend
You were my friend, yes, you were my friend
You were my friend, you were my friend
How could you let me down?
You were my friend
How can you stand and lie to me and look me in the face?
I wish I knew what strange disease could make you act that way
All the things we did together
I've known you for so long
I always did believe in you
How could I be so wrong?
You were my friend, you were my friend
You were my friend, yes, you were my friend
You were my friend, you were my friend
How could you let me down?
You were my friend
I guess for the sake of all we had I should try to understand
But it just doesn't make much sense to me to trust in you again
I wish we could forget it all but I don't think that we can
Oh, why did this ever happen to us my best and dearest friend?
You were my friend, you were my friend
You were my friend, yes, you were my friend
You were my friend, you were my friend
How could you let me down?
You were my friend
You were my friend, you were my friend
You were my friend, yes, you were my friend
You were my friend, you were my friend
Tell me, how could you let me down?
You were my friend
Well, I guess that friendships all come to an end

Du warst mein Freund
Du kamst in mein Haus und nahmst dir von mir alles,
Was ich dir geben konnte.
Ich dachte, wir würden gute Freunde bleiben
Für unser ganzes Leben.
Ich hatte schon Erfahrungen gesammelt, mit Leuten wie dir.
Doch ich hätte nie gedacht, dass auch du genauso bist.
Was also hätte ich tun sollen?
Du warst mein Freund, du warst mein Freund
Du warst mein Freund, ja, du warst mein Freund
Du warst mein Freund, du warst mein Freund
Wie konntest du mich nur so enttäuschen?
Du warst mein Freund
Wie kannst du dich nur vor mich hinstellen und mich belügen
Und mir dabei noch ins Gesicht schauen?
Ich wollte ich wüsste, welche seltsame Krankheit
Dieses dein Verhalten verursacht haben kann!
All die Dinge, die wir gemeinsam taten ...
Ich hab dich doch so lange gekannt
Ich habe immer an dich geglaubt
Wie konnte ich mich nur so irren?
Du warst mein Freund, du warst mein Freund
Du warst mein Freund, ja, du warst mein Freund
Du warst mein Freund, du warst mein Freund
Wie konntest du mich nur so enttäuschen?
Du warst mein Freund
Ich glaube, um all dessentwillen, was wir hatten,
Sollte ich versuchen, dich zu verstehen
Aber irgendwie scheint es mir doch nicht das Richtige zu sein
Dir wieder zu vertrauen
Ich wünschte, wir könnten das alles einfach vergessen,
Aber ich glaube nicht, dass das geht.
Oh, warum musste uns das nur passieren,
Mein bester und liebster Freund?
Du warst mein Freund, du warst mein Freund
Du warst mein Freund, ja, du warst mein Freund
Du warst mein Freund, du warst mein Freund
Wie konntest du mich nur so enttäuschen?
Du warst mein Freund
Du warst mein Freund, du warst mein Freund
Du warst mein Freund, ja, du warst mein Freund
Du warst mein Freund, du warst mein Freund
Sag, wie konntest du mich nur so enttäuschen?
Du warst mein Freund
Nun, mir scheint, dass alle Freundschaften einmal enden...
